  • I would build the entire system, a Smart Home device with various types of sensors, a temperature sensor, air humidity sensor, plant air humidity sensor, a relay to control the lighting, motion sensors that would be connected via Lorawan or GPIO, additionally with MotionEye to monitor the interior of the house as a recorder, of course controlled from a 7-inch LCD touch panel, as well as combining into a cloud solution as in the case of Tuya from a browser and mobile application, using the potential of Raspberry to the maximum 

  • I'd use it for my c programming and databases using sqlite3 with a debian desktop.

  • Well...what wouldn't I build! The possibilities are amazing.

    I would build a weather station outside my window, with 24/7 monitoring of wind speed, temperature, humidity and real time weather radar from the internet, combined with a container running Home Assistant which would store that data on an nvme and relating the inside sensors with the weather sensors to detect and evaluate insulation issues and energy efficiency. Plus, connecting solar panels management and energy storage for maximum efficiency... AND, parallel to that, a watering system controlled by an additional hat to water my garden remotely, according to weather online predictions + local data from underground moisture sensors, using hosing and dripping systems, to save water. All accessible through the DUAL SCREEN setup and the new GPIO on the Rpi5!

    That additional processing power will sure be handy.

    Aaaand (there's more) the system would also include a multimedia voice assistant based on Picroft, to report data, home functions, online radio and podcasts and voice activated control functions for lights, devices, garden and water management - all on a single board...

    ...wait for it...

    ...on a vintage 1940's Phillips radio I have, which would blink in blue / red / green / amber glow, thanks to an RGB led module and speaker housing.

    The voice assistant name?

    Phillip, the butler, of course!

  • I´d like to make a space like the sphere from Las Vegas on my big saloon, maybe I need several raspis for that, and a lot of screens.
